After a few libations and snacks on the Steelcase roof terrace, with the setting sun grazing Central Park behind us, the MNA crew joined Michael inside for a “Speed” presentation of the Bergdorf Goodman facade and the newly completed Jewelry Salons.

Michael and 9 other designers presented projects that specifically addressed the complexities of natural and artificial lighting in completed projects. Each firm representative had 6 minutes to present 10 slides about their projects. Afterward, a brief panel was held where issues of light were further discussed.
